Product Overview

Zirconia is an engineered zirconium dioxide ceramic material recognised for its outstanding mechanical strength, high fracture toughness and exceptional resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack. Stabilised zirconia grades, including yttria stabilised materials, are widely used in demanding applications where conventional ceramics cannot meet performance requirements. RBH supplies high quality zirconia materials manufactured by TOSOH, a globally recognised producer of advanced ceramic powders.

In ceramic and refractory applications, zirconia delivers high temperature capability, low thermal conductivity and excellent wear resistance. It is widely used in abrasives, grinding media, technical ceramics and specialist industrial components where durability, precision and long term performance are critical. TOSOH zirconia grades are engineered for consistent particle characteristics, controlled purity and reliable processing behaviour in advanced ceramic systems.

Within the zirconia portfolio, YTZ Media represents a specialised range of yttria stabilised zirconia grinding media engineered for demanding milling and processing applications. The addition of yttria stabiliser stabilises the zirconia crystal structure, resulting in exceptional resistance to fracture, abrasion and impact, with superior performance compared to conventional ceramic or metallic grinding media.

YTZ Media is particularly effective in precision grinding and milling of high hardness materials including advanced ceramics, technical powders and specialised functional materials. Its high density, excellent mechanical integrity and thermal stability contribute to longer service life, consistent milling performance and reduced contamination in fine particle processing.

RBH supplies TOSOH zirconia materials and YTZ Media suitable for advanced ceramic processing, high energy milling, attrition and wet or dry grinding applications. These materials support industries requiring precise particle size control, reliable processing behaviour and long term performance under extreme thermal, mechanical and chemical conditions.
